to my fellow teacher-to-be,
do practice all above from today onwards..

i'm not forgetting about my personal time of writing in the blog nor to press 'DEL" and go for another media. It's just that lately was totally packed with "to-do lists". Hardly could find time for amusement where others done with their assignments. Btw, a bit relief after handing in the last piece of assignment in the past few day.
